gottaknow Report post Posted December 11, 2012 I traded some sewing machine labor at a drape shop for an old Consew 18. Most of the parts are there. No table or motor, but I have a lot of those. I should be getting it this weekend. I'm thinking it will do some nice medium weight leather. It's kinda ugly though. Regards, Eric Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted December 12, 2012 Ugly or purposeful looking? I like to refer to it as 'character'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottaknow Report post Posted December 12, 2012 Lol Darren. The machine has a cool shape to it, but it's been beat up some. I have plenty of machines to sew on, so I may strip this one down to the casting and do a complete restoration. I'll get some pictures of it this weekend. It for sure has "character".
